Stefan Clopterop, market segment manager, labels, Xeikon said, “Digital pouch production is a perfect fit for label converters looking to diversify and expand their business. Xeikon’s fleXflow process revolutionises pouch making by offering “zero-after-cure” of the laminate. This is an eco-friendly solution by not using solvents during print and lamination plus high bonding strength and low complexity in the handling and construction of many different types of pouch. We are holding this Xeikon Café TV demonstration to give converters the confidence to step into new markets. The production of pouches can be combined with an existing label business which is an attractive option, thereby easing the burden of a financial risk which is sometimes linked to entering new markets. The opportunities at present have never been higher. During this current Covid-19 pandemic there have been significant increases in eCommerce and higher local demand because of disrupted supply chains from other countries. Brand owners are looking for local suppliers of pouches to secure and improve the flexibility of their supply chain and ensure the safety of their products.”
Flexible packaging applications are part of a dynamic global market with huge potential. Xeikon launched its innovative pouch production solution, based on Xeikon fleXflow, at Labelexpo in 2019 and since then the uptake has been significant. Now, Xeikon is reaching out to all label printers and converters to show them how easy it is to master the whole process — PDF to pouch. By introducing digital pouch production into their existing business, label converters can add value to their portfolio and bring in new revenue streams.
